Using Other Products

If you can’t find a product on this list to use against SARS-CoV-2, look at a different product's label to confirm it has an EPA registration number and that human coronavirus is listed as a target pathogen.

Follow the Label

When using an EPA-registered disinfectant, follow the label directions for safe, effective use. Make sure to follow the contact time, which is the amount of time the surface should be visibly wet, listed in the table below. Read our infographic on how to use these products.

Note: Inclusion on this list does not constitute an endorsement by EPA. Additional disinfectants may meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2. EPA will update this list with additional products as needed.

EPA Registration Number

The easiest way to find a product on this list is to enter the first two sets of its EPA registration number into the search bar above the list of products.

For example, if EPA Reg. No. 12345-12 is on List N, you can buy EPA Reg. No. 12345-12-2567 and know you’re getting an equivalent product. You can find this number by looking for the EPA Reg. No. on the product label.

Dilutable: Dilutable liquid

Impregnated materials: product with the disinfectant built into it

Emerging Viral Pathogen Claim?

If a product qualified for the emerging viral pathogen claim, it is effective against a harder-to-kill virus than human coronavirus. All products on this list meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, including those marked as “No” in this column.

Contact Time (in minutes)

The contact time is the amount of time the surface should be treated for. The surface should be visibly wet for the duration of the contact time.

Follow the disinfection directions and preparation for the following virus

If this column shows something other than human coronavirus, that means it works against a harder-to-kill virus. If you follow the contact time listed here for this harder-to-kill virus, EPA expects the product to be effective against SARS-CoV-2. All products on this list meet EPA's criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2 regardless of what is shown in this column.
